    Kia Optima 2018

    Kia Optima 2018

    FROM
    $14,190

    The 2018 Kia Optima range of configurations is currently priced from $18,980.

    Our most recent review of the 2018 Kia Optima resulted in a score of 7.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: The Optima GT does enough to put forward a reasonable case as to why you would consider a sedan over an SUV as your family taxi. If you're like my kids, though, nothing beats that view out of a high-riding SUV, plus the practicality one affords is a massive perk, too.

    This is what Dan Pugh liked most about this particular version of the Kia Optima: Spacious cabin, Sports styling, Comfortable ride

    The 2018 Kia Optima carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1700 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
